Dodger Blue

Friday afternoon we headed to Phoenix for our last bit of fun before school starts. We have been talking about taking the kids to a Diamondback's game, and finally decided to go when they were playing the Dodgers. I believe I have mentioned Cool Dads true love of the Dodgers. Cool Dad had found some inexpensive seats for us which is good because of the price, but bad because Pie spent the first inning clinging to me because she is afraid of heights, and we were VERY high up in the stands.

I like to call this picture. "Passing on the Dodger Love" Bubba was so excited to go to the game. He LOVED it. He talked non-stop (not that that is unusual for him), and asked a million questions. I think the poor people around us might not have appreciated the running commentary. It took Pie a little while to warm up, and she did her best to "not love being there", but eventually she couldn't help herself and she started having a great time. There were some benefits being in the super high seats. No lines at the concession stand, not a ton of people all around you, and we were close to the kids area. Both kids got to hit some balls at the little batting cage.

Can you even see the players in this picture???



There was one other HUGE benefit to sitting up that high. They take pity on you, and when it comes time to look for people to sit down on the field during the fireworks, they choose people from the nose bleed seats. Cool Dad had just taken Bubba to the little man's room for about the hundredth time when a lady offered him four of these. These little babies got us down on the field after the game sitting at home plate watching the fireworks. Talk about fun! The kids were dying, even Pie had to admit it was the best thing ever.

We had a great time at the game. Cool Dad thought the fireworks were great too, but the best part for him, the DODGER'S WON!!!!
